Cartoon strikes reader's funnybone (Letter)

The Oct. 23 editorial cartoon (by Beeler) that showed President Obama as a snake oil salesman for the Affordable Care Act was dynamite: "Act now and we'll throw in a new set of steak knives! Operator is standing by to put you on hold!"

Funny stuff. And columnist Dana Milbank's opinion piece was a hoot. Obama really said those things that were in quotes? Pulitzer Prize material for sure.

Democrats haven't made me laugh so hard since Jimmy Carter's "life is unfair." Not that we don't need some form of health insurance in this country, just not the snake oil that has been forced down our throats and underscored by judicial fiat. And telling us it's good for us.

Thanks to the Public Opinion for a robust opinion page. Great cartoons selected from the best in the nation. Strong commentary from the paper's editorial staff. Opinion pieces from elsewhere in the state and nation. National writers from both the left and the right. The first page I turn to is the opinion page. That single page is worth the price of the paper. Keep up the good work.
